Most Helpful Customer Reviews

My husband and I purchased this set for our just-turned-five year old daughter for Christmas 2011... It is late March 2012 as I write this review and I can truthfully comment that not a day has gone by that she hasn't played with the animals, rearranged/rebuilt the farm, the house, the fences...and LEARNED about the different animals ~ what animals eat what food and why...which ones sleep standing up...which ones lay eggs and which have live babies...what baby animals are called in relation to their mommas and daddies... I mention all of this because I gave five stars for the educational value of this toy... This is not her first Lego set, but one we knew she'd love because of the new and different animals ~ her other sets have zoo animals and she has learned so much with those, too... My daughter is still so very much excited about this Lego set, so my husband and I are very excited, as well! We've introduced the smaller Legos to her ~ seasonally ~ and she loves those, too...but she's five...she wants to play...not worry that animal pieces will go flying if she drops something... It's a wonderful, durable, imagination-boosting toy that I know will keep her interest for some time yet... Go, Lego!!

This is awesome, there are enough prices to build all sorts of things. Farms, out buildings, or whatever your imagination comes up with. Only problem is it didn't come with directions to build the farm like it is on the box. This is a source of frustration for me, but my kids don't care! They love it!

Although this is theoretically made for school situations, it works great for our young grandson, who loves playing with Lego above all things. He likes making a barn "ad hoc" and also following directions I found on-line and printed to make it look like the picture. It's a really nice combination of pieces. For our grandson, the fence and the animals are the most important.

My kids have really enjoyed this set. Pieces go together easily but are not a huge struggle to take apart. My reason for 4 stars is because there were no instructions to help a young builder learn how to build and there seems to be pieces missing in order to make the barn pictured. We didn't have enough door insert pieces for all the door openings either. Otherwise we loved it. The animals are adorable and there are vegetables and flowers as well. One of the blocks even has chicken eggs painted on it for one of the chickens to roost on. There is a picnic table and chairs for the little farm family to sit at and enjoy their vegetables. One of the blocks turns so you can place the hay hook on top of the barn and use it. My kids fight over who gets to play with that piece the most. My kids are 3 and 5.
